To extend its focus on cybersecurity and public policy, Tata Consultancy Services(BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has announced signing partnership with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the UK Government to create the Chevening-TCS Scholarship programme for professionals in diverse fields from India. The programme is targeted at outstanding mid-career professionals from India that have the potential to be leaders in their chosen fields. In the first year, six Indian nationals will be selected to undergo a 12-week programme in the UK. The programme will run for an initial period of three years, with the first course expected to start in February 2014. This programme builds on considerable bilateral interaction at various levels between India and the UK on the subject of cybersecurity and is intended to develop expertise and skills in the areas of cybersecurity, information assurance and online governance challenges. Shankar Narayanan, Country Head, UK & Ireland, Tata Consultancy Services, said, “As an Indian headquartered business with a major UK presence, TCS has always worked hard to help strengthen the relationship between our two countries. By drawing on TCS’ technical expertise and the FCO’s world-class policy knowledge, we have been able to create a scholarship programme that will help future leaders prepare for the increasingly complex world of cybersecurity and policy. We are proud to be supporting this initiative and co-designing the curriculum and look forward to working closely with the FCO and Cranfield University.” The programme will be taught by Cranfield University in the areas of global security, on its campus at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom at Shrivenham.
